GOOD DEEDS MUST BE PUNISHED

by Irving Shulman ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 12, 1956

Social documentary, but softer than the other Shulman books, affords a glimpse into Italian-American life. The narrator, just out of the service, returns to a life in a New York City section which has hoarded old ways until they have become tyrannies rather than customs. Then, packed off to college, the hero joins a fraternity, with strictures on those who act ""too Italian"" and there follows among him and his friends education in better social understanding. University students and some of the High Schoolers will find much of interest here.
